As night fell, Su Yunyan instructed Cui'er to close the door to her room and prepare to rest when Liu stormed in angrily.

Seeing this, Su Yunyan knew that her mother was really angry, so she ordered her personal maid, Cui'er, whom she trusted the most, to send all the other servants away.

Su Yunyan pretended not to know anything and blinked as she asked, "Mother, why are you in my room so late? Mother, you seem very angry. Who made you unhappy?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu lowered her voice and angrily retorted, "Isn't it you? You said that Su Yun Chu could never be with Young Master Liu of the Duke's Mansion. Look at you, you've been spouting nonsense!"

"You, Su Yunyan, are just a big talker who can't do anything right. You're utterly useless! Why can't you just keep your temper in check?"

"All you do is smash things and beat the servants to vent your anger. If you, Su Yunyan, are so capable, go and snatch that Young Master Liu away from Su Yunchu!"

"Look at you, you've angered your father now. Not only were you fined a month's wages, but you've also been locked up for three months. You're such an idiot! I don't even know what to say to you."

After Liu finished scolding, she still felt unsatisfied and poked Su Yunyan's head several times.

Su Yunyan cried out in pain, "Mother, it hurts! Mother, please be gentle! You're hurting me!"

After hearing this, Liu said in a deep voice, "It hurts? That's good, it'll teach you a lesson so you won't be so stupid again."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunyan cried and said, "Mother, I didn't want this to happen either. I just can't stand Su Yunchu. Seeing how happy she is makes me really sad! Mother, I'm so unwilling to accept this! Mother, can you help me?"

As Su Yunyan spoke, she glanced at Liu Shi's expression, and saw that Liu Shi's expression had softened somewhat.

Then, Liu said, "Your father is still angry. What you need to do now is stay in your room and reflect on your actions. You better behave yourself and don't provoke your father, understand?"

After hearing this, Su Yunyan replied, "Mother, I understand. But what should I do about Su Yunchu?"

Upon hearing this, Liu was furious. She lowered her voice and roared, "Su Yunyan, you idiot! You can't believe I've said anything? I want you to do nothing. Wait until your father calms down, then I'll beg him to lift your confinement. Then I'll take action. Do you understand now?"

Seeing Liu Shi so angry for the first time, Su Yunyan was too frightened to speak and just nodded blankly.

Seeing her like this, Liu knew that she had said some harsh words in the heat of the moment.

Then, Liu's tone softened, "Yan'er, I'm just a little disappointed in you! You've really let me down. What I'm even angrier about is your father, Su Lie. If you were Shen Yurou's daughter, he definitely wouldn't treat you like this. In the end, it's all my fault for being useless. I couldn't completely drive Shen Yurou out of your father's heart. I'm really useless; I can't help you at all!"

As she spoke, Liu shed tears of self-reproach.

Upon seeing this, Su Yunyan stepped forward, hugged Liu's shoulders, and burst into tears.

Su Yunyan cried and said, "Mother, this is not your fault. Blame Su Yunchu and her short-lived mother. I swear I will never let her get away with this!"

After hearing this, Liu wiped away her tears and said, "From now on, don't cause any more trouble. It's getting late, you should get some rest!"

After saying that, Liu stood up and prepared to open the door and leave.

Su Yunyan saw Liu Shi out, and only after watching Liu Shi's figure disappear into the distance did she enter the room.

Su Yunyan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. She felt increasingly distressed and resentful.

Su Yunyan gritted her teeth and said through suppressed anger, "It's all Su Yunchu's fault, she's the one who's to blame. I won't let her get away with this."

At this moment, Su Yun Chu's courtyard was extremely quiet! So quiet that only Su Yun Chu's even breathing could be heard; she had truly slept soundly all night!

The next day, it was just dawn.

Su Yun Chu was still asleep when Xi'er came to report: "Miss, it's time to get up! Have you forgotten that you're going to the temple to offer incense with Young Master Liu today? Young Master Liu has already arrived and has been waiting for you outside the mansion for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunchu said with a slight reproach, "Xi'er, why didn't you call me sooner? Oh, what do you think of Young Master Liu? It's not good to make him wait so long on our first meeting!"

Xi'er, feeling wronged, said, "Miss, I wanted to wake you earlier. But Young Master Liu told me not to wake you so early and to let you rest."

After a while, Xi'er said with an envious look, "Miss, Young Master Liu also said that we'll be climbing the mountain later, and he's worried you'll get tired. You see how good Young Master Liu is to you! You're so lucky!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunchu's face immediately turned as red as an apple, and she said, "Xi'er, do you want to be beaten? How dare you tease your young lady?"

Immediately, Su Yun Chu made a gesture as if she was about to hit Xi Er.

Upon seeing this, Xi'er was so frightened that she fled in panic, saying with a laugh, "Miss, I was wrong! You look so cute when you're angry!"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun beckoned Xi'er over with her finger.

After reading it, Xi'er shook her head and said with a grin, "Miss, I'm coming right now. You have to promise you won't hit me!"

Only after Su Yun Chu's repeated assurances did Xi Er come over.

Su Yun Chu placed her favorite lifelike snake toy from her modern days into Xi Er's hands.

Startled, Xi'er threw the toy snake in her hand to the ground and patted her chest, seemingly less afraid.

At this moment, Su Yunchu picked up the simulated snake from the ground and played with it.

After seeing it, Xi'er disregarded her fear, snatched the simulated snake from Su Yun Chu's hand, threw it hard to the ground, and rushed over to check if Su Yun Chu was injured.

After looking at it, Su Yun Chu smiled and said, "Xi'er, look, your young lady is perfectly fine. This is just a simulated snake; there's no danger to it."

After hearing this, Xi'er picked up the replica snake again and looked at it, then said with a pitiful expression, "Miss, you are so mean! You scared me to death."

After hearing this, Su Yun Chu tapped Xi'er's head and said, "Didn't I tell you that when it's just the two of us, you can't call me 'servant' or 'Miss'? It's too formal. Oh, it's getting late, hurry up and wash up!"

Xi'er brought water to serve Su Yun Chu after she finished washing up, then combed her hair and applied delicate light makeup.

Looking at Su Yun Chu, who was all dressed up, Xi'er smiled and said, "Miss, you look so beautiful! Young Master Liu will definitely like you very much."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunchu blushed and said, "Xi'er, stop being so cheeky. Does your young lady not look pretty without dressing up?"

After hearing this, Xi'er said in a low voice, "That's right, my young lady is the most beautiful no matter what."

Su Yun Chu led Xi Er out of the mansion.

Liu Wentao was standing in front of the carriage, glancing occasionally in the direction of the Su residence and glancing at his book every now and then.

At this moment, Su Yunchu gracefully approached Liu Wentao and said gently and apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, for keeping you waiting!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao looked at Su Yunchu, who was speaking.

Su Yun Chu was wearing a light green dress. She had a petite and delicate figure, and her hair was simply styled in a bun with a hair ornament on it. The ornament swayed as she walked, adding a dynamic beauty to her appearance.

Liu Wentao was so stunned that he didn't even realize that Su Yun Chu had walked up to him.

He hurriedly said apologetically, "Miss Su, I'm so sorry! I was distracted just now because you're just so beautiful! I..."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun blushed and said softly, "Young Master Liu, I'm not as pretty as you say. It's getting late, we should get going!"

After listening, Liu Wentao paused for a moment and replied, "Miss Su, what I said is true! Oh... I see, I forgot about the important matter."

After hearing this, Su Yun said in a low voice, "See, it's all my fault, I wasted too much time!"

After hearing this, Liu Wentao didn't say anything more, but instead helped Su Yunchu into the carriage.

After Xi'er got into the carriage, Liu Wentao followed her in.

He instructed the coachman to drive the carriage toward Ci'en Temple in the suburbs.

At this moment, in Su Yunyan's courtyard at the Su residence, Su Yunyan wrote a letter and instructed Cui'er to personally deliver it to Lu Chenyi at the Lu Marquis's residence.

Lu Chenyi opened the letter and read it. It read: "Su Yun Chu and Liu Wen Tao went to Ci'en Temple together today. Go and stop them immediately!"

After reading the letter, Lu Chenyi immediately instructed the steward to prepare a horse.

Lu Chenyi mounted his horse and rode off towards Ci'en Temple.

Perhaps the carriage was a bit bumpy, and the journey was a bit long.

Su Yun Chu had fallen asleep against the carriage in a daze. Upon seeing this, Liu Wen Tao immediately instructed the coachman to slow down the carriage.

Then, Liu Wentao leaned Su Yunchu's head on his shoulder. Seeing this, Xi'er voluntarily made room for her.

After an unknown amount of time, we finally arrived at Ci'en Temple.

However, Su Yun Chu had not yet woken up, and Liu Wen Tao couldn't bear to wake her, so he didn't call her.

So, Liu Wentao carried Su Yunchu down from the carriage.

Just then, Lu Chenyi arrived at Ci'en Temple on horseback and witnessed the scene. His blood pressure rose, and he was furious!

Lu Chenyi jumped off the carriage quickly and walked straight towards Liu Wentao, angrily asking, "Young Master Liu, what are you doing?"

Hearing the noise, Su Yun Chu groggily woke up and asked in confusion, "What's going on? Huh, why is Young Master Lu here too?"

Lu Chenyi retorted angrily, "Miss Su, what else is wrong? Isn't your divorce from me just because of him?"

As Lu Chenyi spoke, he pointed at Liu Wentao.

After hearing this, Su Yun said in a deep voice, "Young Master Lu, my divorce from you has never been because of anyone else. You are now my sister Su Yunyan's fiancé, and you must be loyal to her. You cannot betray her. We can't go back, it's over between us."

After hearing this, Lu Chenyi left looking hurt.
